We’re really starting to love Augustine if this next baby is a boy. We speak Czech and English at home and spend time in both the Czech Republic and the US (currently living in CZ, but will probably be back in the US soon, so this little one will most likely grow up Stateside).
We already have Mariel, Cora, and Nikolai, which work well as livable names in Europe and the US. We might go with the Czech spelling, Augustín (pronounced the same as Augustine, with the long ee at the end. I know that will be tougher in the US, but I’m okay with that so that he’ll have the Czech connection).
I don’t love the nicknames Auggie or Gus, but I think we’d mostly use the full Augustine (and not the end of the world if people call him by those names). Czech nicknames might be Gusta, Gustík, Gustin, or Augustinek. Any other nickname ideas?
Any middle name suggestions (or first name with Augustine as a middle name)? So far we like:
Blaise Augustine or Augustine Blaise
Augustine Matthias
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u] [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] is so charming!! I enjoy @AerieEerie’s suggestion of [name_m]Tino[/name_m]. [name_u]Augustine[/name_u] could maybe have the nickname [name_u]Asa[/name_u] or [name_u]Ace[/name_u]? Especially with middle [name_u]Blaise[/name_u]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe [name_u]Ozzie[/name_u]?
[name_m]Tino[/name_m] is a great nickname! Wonderful middle name suggestions too. I like the very old feel of [name_u]Augustine[/name_u] paired with more modern middles! Thank you!
Thanks! I’m glad those options sit well. I really love them I do love the name [name_u]August[/name_u] too (oddly enough, I prefer [name_u]August[/name_u] alone on a girl, lol).
[name_u]Asa[/name_u] and [name_u]Ace[/name_u] are great, as well as AJ and [name_u]Ari[/name_u] with [name_u]Remy[/name_u] (I really like that suggestion)! Also made me think that with [name_u]Augustine[/name_u] [name_u]Blaise[/name_u], the nickname [name_m]Abe[/name_m] could work (not sure I love it, but it could work).
Great middle name suggestions! Especially love the heavy-hitters like “Malachi, [name_m]Marius[/name_m], [name_m]Casimir[/name_m], Magnus” Thank you!
